"Italian guitarist Giacci uses this setup for his ambient instrumental alternative rock band Club Silenzio. The signal chain starts with a Korg Pitch Black tuner, into a Pigtronix Philosopher's Tone, Keeley Fuzz Head, and a JHS Pollinator. After fuzz stage, is a Morley Bad Horsie wah pedal that goes into a Line 6 FM4. The overdrive section consists of an Akai G-Drive, Bixonic Expandora, Ibanez TS-808, Klon Centaur Clone (with japanese artwork), Devi Ever Aenima Fuzz, and Marshall Guv' Nor. The send/return effects chain starts with a TC Electronic Nova Modulator, then an MXR Stereo Chorus, an Electro-Harmonix Cathedral Stereo Reverb, a BurnFx Lo-Fi Loop analog delay (""custom made by an italian guy with a couple of extra features I requested""), DigiTech Timebender with a Boss FV-500H as an expression pedal, and an MXR Micro Amp."

"Gajeski plays alternative rock, ""but I have been know to delve into classic rock and blues from time to time."" His signal chain is a Boss FV-300 volume pedal, Vox V-485 wah, BBE Boosta Grande, MXR Dynacomp, Deltalab TO1, and Devi Ever Hyperion. Next is a pedal of his own design called ""The Mad Russian,"" then an Electro-Harmonix Black Russian Big Muff Pi, Boss RE-20 Space Echo, Deltalab PS1 Phaser, and Electro-Harmonix Nano Clone."

"Brown plays Christian rock and worship music with this board. He keeps the Fast Fret on the board because he says, ""Any given Sunday I will have two practices and three services that amounts to around five hours of playing."" The signal chain starts with an Ernie Ball mono Volume pedal with a Behringer tuner in the tuner out and a Dunlop Cry Baby GCB-95 wah (with true bypass, LED, and ""vocal"" mods) in the audio out. From there, he runs into a Mesa/Boogie V-1 Bottle Rocket, Vox Satchurator, Vox Ice-9, JHS Mr. Magic Boost, Vox Time Machine, MXR Carbon Copy, Biyang Tri-Rever, and JHS Little Black Buffer. The board is powered by a Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 Plus."

"Robertson is a full-time musician who splits his time between studio work and filling in on live dates. He says, ""I do a lot of sound effects like airplanes and violin tones, car chases, little stuff like that."" He uses a Korg Tone Works AX3000, Ibanez DE-7, Electro-Harmonix Pulsar, Modtone Stutterkill, Line 6 DL4, Boss TU-2, Biyang Phaser, and a Snarling Dog Bass Wah (""cause I like the lows""), all run through a Hughes & Kettner Redbox run straight into the soundboard or his amp rig."

"Rister uses his board in an '80s cover band called Kelli Said. He said his effects lineup is always changing, and he mods most of his pedals. The guitar's signal comes out of a Shure wireless unit into a modded MXR Envelope Filter, Shart (General Guitar Gadgets Green Ringer clone), modded Vox 847UJ wah, modded GFS Twin Overdrive, modded Denelectro Tremolo, Arion SCH-Z Chorus, Boss Super Phaser, Boss DD-7, Biyang Tri Reverb, modded Boss EQ, Arion Stage Tuner, modded Morley A/B switch, and Squier Sidekick practice amp, which pushes a driver for a talkbox attached to the mic stand. The pedalboard is an SKB board wired with George L's and Planet Waves cables with a mini lava lamp for ""extra mojo."" He says, ""If it had wheels and a handle, I would be in heavenи she's a heavy sucker."""

"Primarily a church musician, Van Kley recently scaled down his rig. His signal chain now consists of a TC Electronic Polytune, Electro-Harmonix Soul Preacher, a Vox V830 Distortion Booster, and a Vintage FX Tremolo running into the front end of his amp and a TC Electronic Corona Chorus and Hardwire Delay/Looper in his effects loop. He's currently using the John Petrucci Clean Chorus TonePrint (""Awesome sauce!""). The Pedaltrain Jr. board is connected by locally made Conquest cables and is powered by a Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2."

"Brazilian player Leao uses this setup in stereo with five loops. He explains, ""The first three are aimed at distortions/dynamic/filters and two of them are free to be used with different combinations, depending of which project it's being used for. The third one is connected to the Deeptrip Bog, Fulltone Clyde Deluxe, and Fulltone Soulbender, in this order. The two extra loops are aimed at the freaky effects (Pigtronix Mothership and Electro-Harmonix Voicebox, and Line 6 FM4 and Electro-Harmonix HOG). After the loop section, the chain goes to the mono input of the Eventide Pitchfactor, then in stereo to the Eventide Modfactor, and later to the Eventide Timefactor, all of them MIDI connected."""

"Flewell (aka Uncle Hodge) uses his board in an instrumental rock setting, ""I'm sort of an eclectic putz,"" he says. It consists of a Visual Sound Visual Volume, Fulltone Clyde Wah, Pigtronix Philosopher's Tone, Rockbox Boiling Point, and Electro-Harmonix POG into a Bogner Shiva. The board is powered by a Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 Plus."

"Lanier says he mostly plays at church with this board he calls, ""simple and to the point."" The signal chain is a Fulltone Clyde Deluxe Wah, Fulltone Full-Drive 2 mosfet (main dirt), Fulltone GT500 (""for when I want more""), Way Huge Aqua Puss (""set for a good slap back""), TC Electronic PolyTune and a Visual Sound 1Spot for power, ""all of which add up to a tonal punch to the ears."""

"Schneider identified himself as, ""just a rock 'n' roll guitar player"" who goes by the stage name ""Sugapablo."" His signal chain is a Korg Pitchblack tuner into a Blackstar HT-Drive 16V Valve Overdrive, Dunlop Rotovibe, Classic Dunlop Cry Baby Wah, MXR Carbon Copy Delay, and ISP Decimator Noise Reduction Pedal on a Pedaltrain board. The Blackstar has its own 16-volt power supply, while the rest is powered by a Visual Sound 1Spot. He uses DiMarzio cables throughout."

"Spead makes no bones about his favorite pedal company, ""It's pretty clear that I've got a thing for Visual Sound effects,"" he says. The signal chain for his board is the Visual Volume with Boss TU-2 on the tuner out, Visual Sound Route 66, Visual Sound Jekyll & Hyde, Visual Sound Open Road, and the recently added Visual Sound Dual Tap Delay. He adds, ""Sometimes I'll pull out my Vox Big Bad Wah and put that first in the chain, but this is the main rig. I absolutely love every one of these pedals!"""

"Bush modified an old Panasonic VCR case for his pedalboard which he says fits, ""just my essentials."" The pedals include an Ernie Ball Volume Pedal, Korg DT2 tuner, Danelectro Wasabi Dual Chorus and Tremolo, Danelectro Danecho delay, Dunlop Cry Baby Wah, and Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer, powered by a Godlyke 9V daisy chain. He says it's, ""used for occasional parties and very small events with other aging former players."""

"Massucci's pedalboard does double duty in his rock and country projects. He uses a Tele with either single-coils (country) or Seymour Duncan Hot Rails (rock) and says, ""The Duncan Pickup Booster compliments the Hot Rails and the dual overdrives (Radial Texas Tonebone and Lovepedal Amp 50) give me a ton of flexibility to go from a little dirt for country picking to a load of fuzz for the heavier rock stuff."" He also uses an Analog Man Dual Delay, MXR Phase 90, MXR Micro Chorus, Keeley Compressor, Boss RC-2 Loop Station, Boss TU-2 Chromatic Tuner, and a wah, but says his favorite pedal is the Fulltone Supa-Trem. ""So much versatility, from a simple boost to all-out tremolo."" The board is powered by an MKS Power Pad II Pedal Pad."

"Vecchi was kind enough to share his, ""giant pedalboard"" with us! He plays classic and pop rock but prefers not to use pedals, instead relying upon his Les Paul's Volume knobs. He uses an Auralux Clear Gain booster on the floor and an MXR Carbon Copy and Korg Pitchblack tuner powered by a Voodoo Lab Pedal Power on a Jet City 20-watt head (""with volume at full"")."

"Leong plays alternative rock and indie pop/rock, though he says he sometimes plays country and blues as well. To get his tones, he uses an Ernie Ball Stereo Volume/Pan pedal to control the magnetic/piezo pickups on his custom PRS Singlecut. Then, he runs into a Boss TU-2 and Way Huge Aqua Puss (""for non-rhythmic snapback and self-oscillation sounds""). From there, the signal goes into his Tech 21 British and Liverpool Sansamp pedals which provide his amplification tones, then into a Boss DD-20 with tap tempo (""for rhythmic delays, infinite delays, and looping""). He powers the board with a Visual Sound 1Spot."

"DiMaio says of his pedalboard, ""It changes frequently, which is why it isn't properly organized. I haven't 'locked in' the pedalboard, if you will."" The signal chain is a Radial Switchbone, Keeley Compressor, Xotic EP Booster, Boss Volume Pedal, into a Fender Super Sonic 22. In the effects loop is an MXR Super Chorus and Line 6 Echo Park. The second channel of the Switchbone goes into an EH Micro POG into a Delta Blues 210 amp. The pedals are powered by a Voodoo Labs Pedal Power except the Super Chorus."
